Ah, sorry, I meant that the "doc disk" would *only* have the data on
it.  Think of a CD-ROM with a bunch of HTML, PDF, etc. files on it.  

I was thinking that someone would be able to burn a "doc disk" CD-ROM,
and presto, they'd have an off-line Handbook.  Obviously they need
something to view the files, but this eliminates the need for them to
have network access.
